Direct answer: Tonight, the Moon is in a Waning Gibbous phase, about 98% illuminated. Details and context:
- Waning Gibbous means the Moon has just passed full Moon and is gradually losing illumination, but remains mostly bright in the evening sky. This phase lasts roughly a week, with the illumination decreasing each day until the Last Quarter stage.
- For observers tonight, you can expect a bright, mostly full-looking Moon high in the sky after sunset and visible for most of the night, with the exact rise and set times depending on your location.
If you’d like, share your city or region and the approximate local time, and the exact rise/set times and best viewing windows for tonight can be provided.
